ADJUSTMENTS
E85S
UPPER FRAME SETUP
You can adjust the E85S’s upper frame to the equivalent
height of a bicycle you are used to. Turn the locking
knob one turn counterclockwise. Pull the locking knob
outwards, so that the frame tube can be moved freely up
and down. Once the height is right, let go of the knob
and the frame tube locks into place. Turn the locking
knob clockwise to tighten.
SEAT SETUP
Adjust the seat height by loosening the seatholder
locking screw. Set the right height for you; the basic rule
is that the arch of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal
at its lowest point with the leg almost straight. Tighten
the locking screw. To adjust the horizontal seat position
forward and back, loosen the locking screw under the
seat with a wrench. You can also adjust inclination from
here, although it’s generally best to keep the seat level.
Experiment to find the training position that’s best for
you and tighten the locking screw. Change the seat for
another by unscrewing the locking screw under the seat.
HANDLEBAR SETUP
Loosen the locking screws on the front of the handlebar
support and find the right angle at which to position
the handlebar. Tighten the locking screws. Change the
handlebar for another by unscrewing the front locking
screws.
E85
SEAT SETUP
The seat height should be set so that the arch of the
foot reaches the pedal with the leg almost straight and
the pedal at its lowest point. First turn the locking knob
one turn counter-clockwise, then pull the locking knob
outwards, so that the seat tube can be moved freely up
and down. Once the height is right, let go of the knob
and the seat locks into place. Turn the locking knob
clockwise to tighten.
NOTE! Always make sure that the
locking knob is properly fastened before starting to
exercise! The scale on the seat tube helps you remember
the seat height that suits you best. The seat can be
inclined forward or backward by turning the green
adjustment ring below the saddle. The seat inclines
forward when the ring is turned counter-clockwise,
and back when the ring is turned clockwise. A correctly
inclined seat enhances your training comfort.
NOTE! Do
not try to adjust seat inclination when you’re sitting on
the seat - the ring won’t turn.
HANDLEBAR SETUP
Loosen the grey knob in front of the handlebar and
adjust the handlebar position until your training
position feels comfortable. Tighten the grey knob
carefully.
E85 / E85S: PEDAL REPLACEMENT
To remove the pedals from the cranks, use a 15 mm
wrench to unscrew the right pedal counterclockwise and
the left pedal clockwise. Please note that the pedals are
screwed on quite tightly.
EXERCISING
Working out with this device is excellent aerobic
exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be
suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise
is based on improving the body’s maximum oxygen
upteke, which in turn improves endurance and fitness.
The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly
dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic
exercise should be above all pleasant. You should work
up a light sweat but you should not get out of breath
during the workout.
You should exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions
each week. Once the basic condition has been reached,
it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number
of exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low
pedalling speed and low resistance, because for an
overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the
heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As
fitness improves, resistance and pedalling speed can be
increased gradually.
HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure
is your own heart rate.
